Download Help Centers

The Help Centers provide you with comprehensive user assistance.

We recommend that you use the online versions of the Help Centers for the most recent updates available. If your organization has firewall restrictions that prevent you from using the online versions, you can save the help center files locally.

Access local help

The following procedure describes how to install and access the help on the local machine.

The help packages required for each product, and the location to install them, are described in Local help packages.

To install and access local help:

  1. Download the relevant help packages to the machine where the product is installed. For a LoadRunner Professional full installation you need both the LRP and VuGen packages.

  2. Check that the LoadRunner Professional root installation folder contains a help folder. For example:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenText\LoadRunner\help

    If the help folder does not exist, add it.

  3. Unzip each package into the appropriate folder. For the context-sensitive help to function, the format of the content must be kept as-is, and the content must be placed directly in the specified folder for that package (not in a subfolder).

  4. For some LoadRunner Professional components, there is a switch to toggle between online and local mode. To use the local help, select Help > Help Center Options > Open Locally.

    If you are working on a full installation LoadRunner Professional machine, the Help Center Options for all components are set according to the setting in VuGen.

    To test that the local help is working, in the product Help menu, select LoadRunner Professional Help Center. The Help Center should open displaying a local path, not online.
